FY20 NSF ECR Chemistry Reviewer Survey

* 6. We are currently recruiting review panelists for NSF EHR Core Research (ECR) proposals submitted by the October 3, 2019 deadline. [Conflicts of Interest: If you are PI, co-PI, or senior personnel on any ECR proposal that is pending a decision, or if you or a family member stand to gain financially from any ECR proposal that is pending a decision, you may not participate as an ECR reviewer.]

Panelists will be asked to read and prepare reviews for about 8 proposals prior to the start of the panel meeting. Then the panel will meet (either at at NSF Headquarters in Alexandria Virginia or via videoconference) for two days in December or January to discuss the proposals and reviews. Each panelist will also be assigned to write a summary of the discussion for a small subset of the proposals. For panel meetings at NSF Headquarters, if you live outside the Washington DC metropolitan area, NSF will provide transportation (as arranged by NSF's travel agent), and pay you a flat rate of $480/day on meeting days and $280/day on travel only days (typically totaling $1,240) that will cover lodging, meals, and incidental expenses. If you are a local reviewer, the flate rate is $280/day on meeting days (typically totaling $560). For virtual panel meetings (held via videoconference), NSF will pay you a flat rate of $200/day on meeting days (typically totaling $400).

Are you available to participate in an ECR review panel meeting on two days during December 12-13 or January 2-24? (If you answer "Yes", an additional question regarding your specific availability will follow.)
